Book Description
This report presents the findings of a 30-month project at four Australian universities, where the authors documented the impact of student electronic portfolio use on teaching and learning in music and other creative and performing arts. From November 2011 to April 2014, the creative and performing arts ePortfolio project (CAPA-eP) refined and validated ePortfolio practices to support and enhance quality learning and teaching by university staff. Researchers from Curtin University, Griffith University, The University of Sydney, the University of Western Sydney used and evaluated ePortfolios in their teaching of music and other creative and performing arts during the 30-month period. In addition to investigating the effects of ePortfolios on students, their identity, and the enhancement of learning in a technology environment, the authors report the impact on teachers and their responses to teaching through the use of ePortfolios. The ways in which studentsâ learning and academicsâ teaching respond to the use of ePortfolios differ between the universities: each has different degrees in these disciplines and different policies and uses for ePortfolio based work.
